Pitching It!

I have considered blogging since starting the new chapter of life in Texas last August (2013). But living gets in the way of even the very best intentions. So, a year later, I am at least making one post and an honest go at blogging. Hopefully this might inspire or motivate me to write a book one day. I doubt it but maybe.

So, here is my intro to Pitching It!

My family and I have, thus far, lived an extraordinary soccer-focused life. Fortunately, or unfortunately, it is a significant part of our family identity. My kids are still young; Chad, nor I, played soccer as youth, so our experience is novice to some, while in our "circle" of soccer families/network might appear to be extensive. The name of the blog, Pitching It, is intentionally soccer themed; the pitch, "a soccer field", which is the place we spend a great deal of time and for which many stories, ideas, observations, jokes, insights, and crud life-awareness has motivated anything of interest I might have to say. The title also reflects my intent to "pitch" ideas and topics of interest to soccer moms, "regular" moms, crazy moms, and other adult women as well as reflect on real life insight from my years as an athlete, mom, daughter, sister, wife, aunt, student, counselor, advisor, mentor, teacher, co-worker, taxi-mom driver, friend, enemy, liker, hater, facebooker, social media stalker (ha), and all the many other hats I wear.  You all wear similar hats so perhaps we can "Pitch" together and enjoy dialogue about real life, silliness, suffering, and whatever else is going on in the world around us at any particular time.

 So I hope you will revisit Pitching It and provide comments and feedback that contribute to the convo!
